The Beauty Benefits of Hot Springs: Review
Humans have been bathing in hot springs for centuries to treat a variety of health concerns, ranging from skin conditions to mental health. According to Marcus Coplin, ND, a primary care naturopathic medical doctor, health seekers traditionally visit healing springs for several days to a few weeks, incorporating regular geothermal mineral water baths into their stay — something we kind of wish our employers would adopt as an out-of-office policy. As someone with anxiety, there’s nothing I love more than a relaxing and recovery treatment, especially when it includes benefits like moisturizing and softening dry, rough, and xerotic skin. So, I took a trip to Murrieta to see if the…

Botox: Your Guide to Costs, Types, and Side Effects
Botulinum toxin — often referred to as the brand name Botox — wasn’t always the Magic Eraser for fine lines and wrinkles like you might know it as today. In fact, ophthalmologist Jean Carruthers, MD, FRCSC, FRC, first stumbled across its smoothing potential while treating a patient for eye spasms in the 1980s. When she noticed fewer frown lines as a happy side effect, Dr. Carruthers relayed the good word to her dermatologist husband. Fast-forward 30-plus years, and Botox has become so commonplace that injections are served with a side of In-N-Out burgers on the hit Netflix show “Selling Sunset.” It’s no longer Hollywood’s best-kept secret or the making for…

What Is a HydraFacial and How Does It Help Skin?
By the time the end of April rolled around after a particularly dismal New Jersey winter, my skin had definitely seen better days. With temperatures that would oscillate between 30 and 65 degrees every other day for about two months straight (fun!), I was in need of actual medical assistance. I sh*t you not: my skin was so dry that I looked like an old Italian man painted me back in 1510 and never bothered to give me an upgrade over the last few hundred years. My face could literally be in the Uffizi with a black sheet over it for two years saying: “Do not touch, under restoration for…

What Are UV Lash Extensions? Experts Explain If They’re Safe
When it comes to eyelash applications, there are tons of methods and techniques to try. For those who love the classic look, fake eyelashes will always be a favorite. But if you’re craving extra “oomph,” a lash lift might be the way to go. This semi-permanent application takes your natural lashes and lifts them from the root to give them extra volume. On the other hand, lash extensions focus on making the eyelashes look thicker and fuller. According to Beautytok, UV lash extensions are set to be the next big thing in 2024. But how safe are they? If you’re a lash enthusiast, you’ve probably seen this technique trending on…

When it comes to beauty hacks and new products, I find a lot of information on TikTok. I spend hours scrolling the app, and it’s a treasure trove of information. Recently, I learned that people were putting hemorrhoid cream under their eyes to combat wrinkles (TLDR: don’t try that one), discovered a dry shampoo that fixes even the dirtiest and sweatiest of hair, and, most recently, learned…

Hair Color Theory, Explained by Hairstylists
Think back to your grade school art classes when you first discovered the color wheel. It was all about learning the primary colors, mixing and matching them to create different tones, and making a piece of work that would make Matisse (or your mom) proud. But even if you didn’t go on to become the next generational talent in the art world, who knew that this elementary color science would be helpful in figuring out your next hair shade? Enter hair color theory, the buzziest method for finding your ideal tone. “Hair color theory is color theory,” celebrity hairstylist Justin Toves-Vincilione tells PS. “It’s art and anyone can participate.” But…

However, of all the fads that have dictated routines and Sephora purchases of late, there’s…

There are few things in my wardrobe that get more wear than the fanny pack that’s usually slung across my chest. Still, there are times when it’s necessary for me to bust out a mom bag that’s large enough to fit whatever the day is throwing at me — baby wipes, sunscreen, bags of goldfish, a bottle of bubbles, whatever it takes. While the cotton tote I…
